Girl on Fire

Alicia Keys

Moments Worth Listening For
the heavy Billy Squier drum sample crashing into the title track's chorus
the transition from the delicate piano intro into the defiant declaration of Brand New Me
the sultry, slow-burn guitar interplay with Maxwell on Fire We Make
the raw, unadorned piano and vocal intimacy of Not Even the King
